Is it normal for yum to get very quite (80-90% cpu and very little disk 
activity) for a long time after all the header and packages are 
downloaded and after printing "Test transaction complete, Success!"? I 
killed it and started over thinking maybe it was hung but is is still 
being very slow at this point the 2nd time.
